The first thing we are going to do for this case is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of gallons of water
 y: total weight
 We then have an equation of the form:
 y-yo = m (x - xo)

 Where,
 m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

 Substituting values:
 m = (196.8 - 113.4) / (20 - 10)

m = 8.34
 We choose an ordered pair:
 (xo, yo) = (10, 113.4)

 Substituting values:
 y-113.4 = 8.34 (x - 10)

 Rewriting:
 y = 8.34x - 83.4 + 113.4

y = 8.34x + 30
 Answer:
 
y = 8.34x + 30

Examine this system of linear<br> equations.<br> y – 3x=-2,<br> y = 4
Verdich [7]

Answer:

2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so for this you have to substitute. y=4 so you put a 4 where the y is. This becomes

4 - 3x = -2 We can already rule out (2,2) and (4,2) Why? Because the y is not a 4. So it’s gonna be either (0,4) or (2,4). Now, we have to find x. We have to isolate it. You do this by subtracting 4 from both sides.

4 - 4 - 3x = -2 - 4 Now Simplify

-3x = -6 Why -6? Because you can’t subtract a positive from a negative so it becomes -2 + -4. Since they are both negatives, you just add them together, then put the negative sign.

Now divide -3 from both sides. Which becomes

x = 2
